Set a little bit outside Santa Clara, the Ché monument is very striking. There is a garden a little behind it honouring fallen revolutionary comrades. The mausoleum underneath the statue is very peaceful, and the small museum about Ché has some really interesting photos of him, and his upbringing.

And, values that are still held in Cuba today. The intricate details to be found all over the statue mirror the life-story of this very clever man who was killed fighting for his beliefs. Far more moving and iconic than the very large statue at the mausoleum.

Beautiful church, with a huge gilt altar. Lots of history with very knowledgable guide who can handle any questions in English, French or Spanish.

This small mountain – about 200 meters at its highest point – gained notoriety during and after the Cuban Revolution for it was the headquarters of Comandante Che Guevara armed forces. The smallest peak holds the name of Capiro and next to it are the twin peaks known as Dos Hermanas (Two sisters). A monument commemorating the battle was placed at the top of the smallest peak; it sits on a green marble base that symbolizes the unity of the Cuban nation; the trenches dug during the battle for control of the city of Santa Clara can be seen around the monument and form part of it. It was declared National Historic Site in 1990 along with that of the derailment of the armoured train (El tren Blindado). The natural surroundings house a plantation of Tamarind, the natural tree of Santa Clara, also helps to contain the erosion of the slopes. A great way to exercise climbing up to the top of the hill, my advice it;s less challenging to walk on the grass than the steps. There’s a 360* degrees beautiful view of the city, the huge baseball Stadium down below and not to mis the sunset. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, carry mosquitoes repellent, especially late in the afternoon and wear dark clothes.

The beach at Cayo Santa Maria is awesome, it stretches for Kilometers where all the resorts are located, so the beach is similar at all places and its shared so you can walk along the beach through all the resorts. The best beach section though is the one located at the bay behind the sercotel Resort, its your dreams beach.

I was told to wait and buy our souvenirs when we took our trip to Trinidad. But for the most part, we found the prices at the Plaza very competitive. Vendors were willing to barter and they had tons of options. Vendors changed every couple days. So we checked back every day of our vacation.
